Cosmic Catering Ltd

Cosmic catering went beyond what we were expecting, Monique and staff felt more like family, their enthusiastic and professional attitude really made our day special. Having someone like this on our wedding day really made the difference. Also they really fit our budget. We can't stop talking about the food, it was delicious! I highly recommend cosmic. We love you Monique!!!!!!

Monique catered my wedding and the food was absolutely fantastic and the service was very good. Her staff were helpful and walked my elderly family members through the food line and back to their tables. Monique herself is very kind and a lovely person to deal with even through the stress I was under while planning my wedding. Thank you cosmic catering!!

Incredible service and wonderful food! My friends and family all complimented the food at my wedding, will definently be calling Monique again!!
Cheers

Thank-you Monique and staff for the best New Year's Party ever! We often host parties for our friends for a variety of special events. This year we decided to have a catered sit down dinner on December 31, 2014. Monique and I had met in the summer to discuss the plan and the menu. The menu that Monique suggested for us was absolutely delicious - five courses served to us in good time by four very efficient servers. I was excited but also nervous about my party and wanted it to be a success. I clearly remember Monique's reassuring words to me as I sat down. "Relax and enjoy your dinner party. I will take care of everything". And she did. The food was SO GOOD, the service was great, my kitchen sparkled afterwards, and Cosmic Catering did a superb job for us. The fancy dinner set the stage for the rest of our party and we had fun into the early morning hours. My guests (all retired Port Coquitlam Firefighters) were very impressed and have been contacting me for days afterwards to thank us for such a lovely evening - one we will all remember for a long time. Thank-you Monique!

(Of note - we had zero issues with Cosmic catering. The prices were fair, the food was excellent, the service was efficient, the billing and payment procedures were easy and as expected, the clean-up was quick and perfect, the follow-up contact with Monique was timely. I highly recommend her company to anyone who is using a caterer for a first time (like me). The experience was stress free and enjoyable. I will definitely use Cosmic Catering for future functions)

Since 2012 I have come to know and experience the excellence of Cosmic Catering both as a customer and as an employee. The owner, Monique Campbell, is a professional chef and a very friendly person who goes all out to attend to the needs of her customers. Cosmic caters all kinds of events: weddings, Robbie Burns Suppers, Business gatherings,funerals,etc...Whatever the event Monique and her staff serve delicious food with a smile. Monique's office walls proudly display Cosmic's many "Best Caterer" awards. Looking for the best caterer in Maple Ridge? Look no further than Cosmic Catering.

I have been a guest at a variety of functions catered by this company ranging from large informal buffets to an intimate 5-course dinner party. On all occasions the food has been appropriate to the occasion and of a high standard. The tables have looked beautiful. There have been some lovely personal touches and Monique has been a hands-on, sensitive and pleasant hostess. I have recommended her services to others.

I have approached some of my clients to post a review on this site because of the ex employee trying to damage my reputation. I have worked long and hard to build this company to the standards upon I am proud of and I will continue to provide the service and quality of food that I am honoured to serve.

I recently hired this company to provide service at my mother's celebration of life. There were a couple disappointments which I was willingly to overlook until the owner/manager asked my brother for payment at the exact moment he was getting up to speak his euolgy for his mother. I had prepaid a deposit on the day I booked the date. The agreement I had with the owner was I would provide her with the balance (in the form of a cheque) at the end of the event. We had an buffet luncheon and were beginning the prayers and words of love when the owner decided to demand full payment. She was well aware the event was from one oclock to four oclock. At two thirty she decided to throw out all the remaining sandwiches and leave. She planned on coming back later to clear the dishes and remove the linen. This apparently is her practise. My brother did not have the cheque with him as he wasn't expecting to pay for a few hours. He had to ask those around him to dig into their pockets right then. In addition I had been her contact throughout the planning of the event so I will never understand what possessed her to not come to me. When I asked her she said I was busy. On the saddest day of my family's life we met one of the most avarice and insensitive people I have had the misfortune to ever know.

Food was average. good sauce. Equipment and flatware worse for wear. We could accept these things because we did seem to be getting a fairly decent deal given it was last minute. What was most fishy were 15% charges that I have never seen on other catering invoices before. When questioned staff knew nothing, referred us to owner Monike who never responded, never checked afterwards to see how we enjoyed, or, for us, did not enjoy the food and service.
Have yet to see similar mentions of odd charges on the internet. I arrange for my company Christmas party catering for 12+ years and have never seen items requiring a customer to pay for health authority fees or professional association fees of any sort on any caterer invoice. Strange billing , owner took no interest in her own service, average food, poor equipment. Overall very disappointed.

Back in 2004 and 2006 I'd been to 3 events and helped organise another and Cosmic was amazing. our wedding planner warned us about cosmic but I could not believe the reputation she spoke of. How times have changed!
food was pretty good. it always was. not bad for the price but not even close to enough for our head count. the last table up were scraping away at what was left.
bread rolls hard. "in house" desserts were cheap cut up store bought. however we loved the beautiful fruit platter.
owner very accommodating leading up to wedding but then at the event she was so rude. making remarks about our dinner running late by 10 minutes and being disrespectful to the staff in front of our guests. complained about us needing to make last minute adjustments.
the linens were clean but some were stained and looked bad.
coffee pot was simply disgusting.
once upon a time I would never even consider another caterer. 8 years later and it is a sadly different story. so disappointed at how much it has changed for the poorer. everything looks old.
no staff to be seen between dinner and the end so when we needed more cups since they took off with China ones which we were using for the punch because not enough clear plastic cups were brought. only one staff member to clean up everything.

Really very average, and over priced.

I was ordering 3 events, this was close to double the cost of the others, but I was pushed for time, and it was a last minute booking. I can see why they were available.

Although the service was friendly and good (just delivered and picked up food) the food itself was very average.

Baked goods and fruit and coffee.

The coffee was average, and in old equipment, which I was assured was going to be "top-of-the-line"

Cosmic Catering has won best caterer for 10 years and has donated many items to their Municipality. Portable hearing aid testing equipment for schools. Special reading equipment for the seniors centre, MS Society meals for their annual run. B.C. lung association meals for their annual run and many other donations made to different oganizations. They give back to their community and are always available to people in need.

I was surprised to hear that type of a review as i was alao at the mrss grad and thought the food was delicious. I did notice that students were filling their plates to the point where food was falling off their plates. I know that they were making announcements about waiting for secinds but many were not listening to the announcements. I felt the staff were very professiinal and really were doing a good job. I found this to be a great event with great food and a great company as far as i am concerned.

Cosmic catered mrss 2012 grad. They ran out of food to 25 or better percent of the party. One of the staff came up to our table right after we sat to eat and asked if they could clear our plates. One also took my wife's plate away while she was still eating. Not very good Cosmic. I would tell the class of 2013, not to cater from you. I will tell every one not to cater from you. The school diserves an apologie!!!!!

Totally UNIMPRESSED with the lack of proffessionalism at the Garibaldi Graduation dinner. Not only did they run out of food before all the guests had eaten they had no coffee for those who were lucky enough to eat. There was no experience with cleaning tables they were still cleaning when most guests wer done dancing and leaving. My recomendation is to pass the word how bad their service was.

I had Cosmic Catering cater our wedding and the owner Monique WAS FABULOUS. tHE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS, HOT AND PLENTIFUL. THE STAFF WERE SO HELPFUL WITH ASSISTING THE BRIDAL PARTY AND ELDERLY GUESTS BACK TO THEIR Seats with their plates. She wad Hands on throughout the whole event. it was amazing. If you want them to cater your wedding you better book soon as It took us over a year to have them. Thanks again for making our day memorable!

I USED COSMIC CATERING FOR MY WEDDING AND FOUND THEM VERY REASONABLE IN THEIR PRICES COMPARED TO ALL THE OTHER CATERERS I CONTACTED. tHE SURVICE WAS SUPURB AND I USED MY CREDIT CARD FOR EVERY TRANSACTION AND I WAS CHARGED EXACTLY WHAT I WAS QUOTED. I ALSO RECEIVED THE INVOICE THE DAY OF MY WEDDING AND SO DID MY FRIEND BECKY WHO ALSO USED COSMIC CATERING . I THINK THAT WHOEVER THIS JUS GUY IS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT HIS OR HER EVENT. MONIQUE IS SO EASY TO CONTACT, SHE GAVE US HER CELL PHONE NUMBER AND HER HOME PHONE NUMBER JUST IN CASE WE HAD ANY QUESTIONS AFTER HOURS. SHE WENT THE EXTRA MILE IN EVERY ASPECT OF OUR WEDDING. I WOULD RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE. SHE IS VERY WELL RESPECTED IN THE INDUSTRY AND HAS WON MANY AWARDS FOR HER CATERING. EMILY & CHRIS

I have never written a bad review before, but I also have never had a anyone continue to overcharge my credit card after an agreed to price.

I won't go into details here but just know that we were charged an additional $750 after the event and despite several attempts to contact Monique in the end I had to call VISA to cancel my credit card so that no more fradulant charges would be apperaing.

We had several other suppliers for our wedding and they were all amazing, with the exception of Cosmic Catering. I would advise you to be careful before committing to their services. Ensure you have everything in writing and pay cash only, to be honest, I just wouldn't recommend Cosmic Catering at all.

Cosmic catered our wedding recently and offered stellar service to everybody who came.
The owner's attention to detail was impressive. She walked me through the food lineup so I wouldn't get food on my dress. Everything I needed done was done and when our bar service didn't bring any ice, she sent one of her staff out to get some. These are the things that go above and beyond the excellent food. Cosmic even supplied special meals to a few of our friends who have food allergies. I recommend her to anyone.

We used Cosmic Catering for our wedding and after some weather mishaps the food definitely saved the day for us. They have superb service. The staff walked the wedding party through the food table so we wouldn't mess up our clothes and they helped all the elderly people with their plates. As for the food, it was fantastic, with lots of variety and so fresh. They have incredible Caesar salad. We went back for seconds and thirds. The owner Monique really made our day special with her sunny personality. They have won the local newspaper's Readers Choice contest every year.

Canceled a function after paying their required deposit plus an extra 1000$. Was told that any monies paid to them counted as a deposit and refused to refund the extra monies. Will never use them or recommend them again.
